Court records show a Franklin County Common Pleas judge on Monday denied the 44-year-old Weddington’s request to be freed after serving two years of a three-year sentence. The judge says he would reconsider the motion, if one is filed later.

Weddington’s motion said he has participated in community service activities and been a literacy tutor for other inmates. It also said Weddington has shown a commitment to changing his life.
